He has apologized for these like 50 times

how many times are you gonna cancel him for it damn, y'all have "cancelled" him for this SO many f*cking times its insane

I don't agree with what he did at all but like at this point "cancelling" him for this is stupid, you trend this like every month, and then you go on to watch his video's whenever he uploads, its getting boring

Lets do it baby I know the Law

White people are the majority, therefor reverse racism does not exist. 
white face is not a thing, because white people didn’t have white face used to occupy white roles in media. Do y’all not realize how tone deaf these “if the roles were reversed” situations sound because reverse racism is literally that ridiculous? 

You're right, reverse racism doesn't exist. It's just racism :whitney: 

However, White Chicks is funny and I don't see an issue with it. In the case of blackface vs "white face" (in quote marks because it sounds so ridiculous to even say it, not quoting anyone I've seen here :sharon: ) it's about the history and that's why in this particular case, it's not a double standard for "white face" to exist. Black people didn't oppress white people using "white face" and it doesn't have the same pain and trauma behind it. So I don't think it's a double standard at all. It's about being sensitive to others. White people of the past did it with malice and really hurt so many people, so the white people of today should be considerate and stay away from it :emma: 

However, you can be racist to any race. Discrimination against another race. Institutional racism is something different, but if you killed me because I was white, that would be a racially-motivated (i.e. racist) murder. To argue any different is lunacy.

We will just have to agree to disagree about that then. For me anyone who makes a racist statement deserves to be cancelled. However it’s not really up to me or you, assuming that’s you in your profile pic, because we are not POC. Only POC can truly decide to forgive or cancel those who make racist statements about their communities. We can have our own opinions about it but they really don’t matter at the end of the day.

Well it's everyone's joint decision who to cancel, just speaking practically here :emma: If half the world won't cancel him, he's not really cancelled :sharon:

I'm not a fan of Shane Dawson, but I know he stopped doing this and he shouldn't be attacked for this he did 12 years ago. We all did **** 12 years ago we wouldn't do today. I really hate the internet and its desire to go after people.

See the Camila Cabello is a racist thread for reference.

Now sis, the New York Post article they linked to is :air: 

Have your opinion and all but don't just disregard it as "not news" when it's literally on a news site :sharon: 

Firstly The New York Post is hardly a news site. And this is nothing new and current and has had no development. The latest date they even mention is 2015. These "journalists" have nothing better to post about and to call a tweet with 50some likes a "revival" is embarrassing. Also, the person who tweeted obviously was not looking to have a real discussion, as they were hiding tweets that opposed their view.

Girl I said have your opinion and all, I'm just saying this thread was not just someone trying to make their random tweet go viral :air: Take a Xanax! :sharon: Please, don't jump down my throat for no reason. I agree that we've certainly been around this whole cancelling Shane Dawson based on the same thing one too many times, but I'm just saying that this latest round of attempted cancellation isn't restricted to some random tweet :emma:

I'm not a girl and I would appreciate if you'd refrain from referring to me as such. It's not some person promoting their tweet but it's definitely not news and brings nothing to the table.

Oh goodness, you're one of those :emma:  

Are all Shane Dawson stans this argumentative? :oprah: If people are going to try and cancel Shane Dawson, can't they cancel his followers while they're at it? :lmao:

One of who? And I never commented on my views on Shane. I'm not a fan of his. I just don't understand why he's being brought up because this matter has been discussed and there's nothing new.

If you'd read my first post responding to you, you'd see that I very clearly agreed that it is indeed not a new development. But I don't think that is equivalent to saying that it's not gaining traction (for the gazillionth time) regardless.

does anyone remember that movie, "White Chicks"? Is anyone ever going to talk about that and the societal double standards?

Blackface has been done since 1900 if not before, as a caricature of black people in the United States of America, always putting on a racist, disrespectful, demeaning and offensive act. US has a history of slavery, black population has been abused, made fun of, copied, and then put to the side, and forgotten about. What don't people like you don't understand about that?

Is someone promoting their Twitter account perhaps? This tweet - about a tired controversy - only has 50 likes. :laughga: This is not news.

It was trending worldwide
